Greetings @MountainManFowl Welcome to BYC. Glad you joined us here on the Colorado thread. Nice looking Anatolian in your Avatar. Since you have sheep, have you thought about joining the sister site? BYH? http://www.backyardherds.com There are some great sheeple over there and LGD owners as well. Anyway, welcome once again, sorry I can't help you on the silkies...

My guess, and I'm no expert, is that Mr Cogburn is a Speckled Sussex. Anyone have any thoughts.

My first thought was Speckled Sussex too but I'm a newbie. He sure is handsome.

If anyone is interested, on FC CL, Grants farm is selling some of their school bus rolling chicken coops. $1000 each.

He looks a lot like the SS male I acidentally got a couple years ago. I say SS for that one.

SS Cock for sure. Nice one! Here is a photo of one of mine. The white legs are a real give away.

You deserve a good soak. Just don't get wrinkled. Or are there salts in the water that prevent that??

I'm looking for some silkies in Colorado. Anywhere within an hour or so of i-70 between Denver and junction. Chicks or adults, mixed colors. Does anyone here have some available?

Mr.MountainMan, I have a fair number of white bearded Silkies, as well as some Blue/Black bearded. 14 of their eggs were set by a teacher in Boulder Unihill Elementary to hatch on March 9, and the chicks will be available a week after that to any one who wants them. No guarantees as to quality, but we were very happy with the chicks my birds raised last summer. Am no judge of Silkies, though. Boulder is probably far for you, but if you'd like to meet halfway somewhere, I'd consider it doable. PM me if you are interested. If not, I hope you can find some closer to you. Silkies are a nice bird to have around. I am actually closer to Berthoud, if that makes any difference, close to Carter Lake.
